Sorry... a similar favor question.. fortune cookies after elegant meal?

I got the same idea that the person below me has for the flavored fortune cookies with the discount to use as favors for the wedding.  

Here's my question:

We weren't going to do favors at all because people don't normally take them and I thought they'd be a waste but this one seemed affordable and fun so I'm considering it.  My fiance thinks it is not a good idea and here's why:

Our wedding is very formal with very gourmet and elegant food, a champagne signature drink and it's at the Portofino Bay so it feels kind of princessy.  He thinks that after the gourmet meal and cake that the flavored fortune cookies will seem really cheap and that it would be better not to have them because they won't be missed.  He thought the cheap fortune cookie was not the best last impression considering how expensive the food is.  He also said that fortune cookies don't fit with the theme or feel of our wedding.

What do you all think?  Should we skip them or do you think people would appreciate getting a flavored fortune cookie?

    I love fortune cookies, but I think given the formal style of your wedding, I would probably skip them.  Perhaps you could add them to the OOT favor boxes/bags?

    We are using them, but as I said, my FI is half Chinese and our wedding is semi casual with kind of quirky/fun touches (we're considering a Mad Libs "guest book" and cartoony Chinese zodiac figurines as a cake topper). Did you end up getting them?

    No because most people on this board and the favors board agreed with my fiance.  That's ok though.  He's probably right.

    I'm doing fortune cookies afterward and am having a formal sit down dinner. Everyone likes fortune cookies!
